This Strawberry Mojito recipe is the most perfect refreshing cocktail for a hot Summer day. We put a fun twist on our traditional mojitos by muddling together lime juice, sugar, and strawberries. It adds a nice mild strawberry flavor to the mojitos, and makes for one of our favorite Summer cocktails, full of simple ingredients.

Why we love this cocktail-

• The flavors in a traditional mojito are delicious. The perfect mojito is a simple but sweet cocktail, and this version has a strawberry spin that really takes the drink to the next level.
• From the fresh berries to the fresh herbs and citrusy lime juice, our easy Strawberry mojito recipe is a delicious twist.

Strawberry Mojito Ingredients:

• ½ cup fresh strawberries
• 2 oz. light rum
• 2 oz. fresh lime juice
• 2 tsp. granulated sugar
• 2 oz. club soda
• 2 cups of ice
• 2 fresh mint leaves
• Fresh lime wheels or wedges, a fresh sprig of mint, and fresh strawberries or strawberry slices for garnish.

You’ll need a few cocktail tools to make this- a cocktail shaker, wooden spoon or muddler, a bar spoon, and a citrus juicer will all come in handy.

Directions:

Step 1: To a cocktail shaker, add ½ cup fresh strawberries, 2 mint leaves, lime juice, and sugar.

Step 2: Use the back of a wooden spoon or a muddler to muddle the strawberries and mint into the lime juice and sugar. You want to release the strawberry juices and mint oil.

Step 3: Add ice and white rum.

Step 4: Shake to combine and chill.

Step 5: Pour into your glass, and top with club soda.

Step 6: Garnish with a mint sprig, fresh lime slices, or a fresh strawberry.

FAQs & Tips:

• There’s no need for simple syrup in this drink, since we muddle the strawberries with sugar, but if you want extra sweetness it is an easy addition.
• If you prefer to skip the mint leaves and strawberries in your drink you can certainly strain your cocktail, but you will lose a bit of flavor.
• Don’t have club soda? You can use sparkling water, soda water, or even a lemon-lime soda for the bubbles.
• You can multiply this recipe to make a pitcher of Strawberry Mojitos.
• Any light rum, silver rum, or white rum is perfect for this drink, but you could also use flavored rum. Strawberry or lime would be delicious.

We hope you enjoy this fresh Strawberry Mojito. It is one of my favorite cocktails- the combination of sweet strawberries, fresh limes, and mint flavors make for the perfect cocktail.
